Renaissance Combustion Engine
Discussion
A guy at my work did the CAD work for this:

3 times the power of an internal combustion engine, runs on metahnol and creates it's own hydrogen
Do you think it will catch on?

I suppose the bit missing is that the engine charges batteries which run electric motors that drive the car
So it's a range extender for use in series hybrids?Odd then that it's performance should be "ON-DEMAND output plus EXCELLENT acceleration" but hybrids have "ON-DEMAND output but SLUGGUSH perfromance"
Also it's odd that the exhaust from hybrids is "GOOD" yet the exhaust from the same internal combustion engines is "TOXIC"
And it's bonkers odd that the cost of the Renaissance Combustion Engine doesn't include the "costly, short-life, bulky batteries" that hybrids have.
The video won't play for me. I feel I'm missing out on the birth of a new dead end of technology, because without the video the site is rubbish at expaining whatever it is that they think they're doing.

Actually they use the energy to compress air and then draw that off to drive electricity generators. No batteries...Still looks like something from Jules Verne though.

"Hydrogen is primary fuel – this is produced at point of use from aqueous fluid with no need for hydrogen substructures."
It creates the hydrogen. Then burns the hydrogen. Then creates some more. Then burns it too. And produces power the whole time...
Genius. "Aqueous fluid". So, water or similar. And I wonder how it gets the energy to take the hydrogen out of the water...It creates the hydrogen. Then burns the hydrogen. Then creates some more. Then burns it too. And produces power the whole time...
